Here is where my art happens…at least most of the time. It is my little niche in the world, my refuge, where I dream my dreams and where I try to paint them. Here I am surrounded by reality, as well as sentiment, tender reminders of my past and inspirations for the future. Here I hide from the world, but here I also take on the world. My sketchwork is posted on Africantapestry. Welcome to my atelier.

Ronell, I am so so sorry that we did not connect in Paris. Our return to Paris was shortend by a day (I goofed up the dates) so there just was not time to get together. I love your atelier, it is so beautiful and inviting. I would have enjoyed a day with you and Casey. Perhaps another time. Take care, Deborah

Oh what a wonderful spot to dream your dreams and create your magic, it is so perfect, rustic and homey, I wish I could curl up on your sofa, share thoughts as you paint and we drink some tea! Hmmm, to dream.

Hi Ronelle,
I popped in to see your Atelier.
At the moment I am looking for a studio workshop to paint in, so I needed some inspiration as to how storage etc should be.
That looks perfect.
Will see what I come up with. maybe the shop front I hope is still available will be my new place, and you can fly in for coffee.
Hope you are feeling motivated again.
Hugs,
Erin

I love your site!! I was sent to you by Gatsbys Gardens. She said I would love your site. So off I went to visit the French Kitchen……….You are wonderful! I love anything French even your snow! Traveled there many times and dream about living there in my next life!
I am going to do your Root Vegetables for Christmas Eve! They look yummy! Also love the Chocolate Mousse idea as well. My son is a chef and I hate for him to always have to be in the kitchen……he will like the root vegetables….I have done them before, but not like yours. He studied in France and worked with Pascal Robert in Limoges at Amphitryon. He now has a cooking school and no longer has the restaurant. When we visited him, we also went to Paul Bocuse and he personally took our son through his kitchen. He spoke at our son’s graduation from the Culinary Institute in upstate New York. His son was also there. So already there was a little connection.
Merry Christmas and blessings in the new year to you and your family. So happy to have met you!
